This week on Beauty & The Brain, Dr. Chris Croley is away — so Jerry Drinkard, NP and Allie Ballew, NP jump in for a casual, behind-the-scenes chat about what Skin & Tonic actually offers and how to think through your options if you’re trying to improve skin quality, texture, aging changes, or confidence.

They cover a ton in one episode: why chemical peels are still a go-to, how microneedling boosts collagen with minimal downtime, the “event-ready” glow combos (hello HydraFacial + dermaplane), and what patients should know about injectables (neurotoxins + filler). Then they get into long-game anti-aging with Sculptra/Radiesse, fat-dissolvers like PCDC, collagen threads, and the clinic’s “workhorse” devices — including lasers and plasma treatments for tightening and resurfacing.

They also close with a candid (and clinical) overview of sexual wellness options, including CO₂ intravaginal treatments, O-Shot/P-Shot (PRP), and shockwave therapy for men.

If you’ve been curious about where to start — or what’s best based on downtime, budget, and timeline — this episode will help you make sense of it all.

Follow the show so you never miss an episode, and share this with a friend who’s been thinking about finally doing “something” but doesn’t know where to begin.
